From the volcanic marvels of Rotorua to the lush charm of real-life Hobbiton, New Zealand’s North Island is full of wilderness and wonder. We’ll show you all the highlights of the North Island along with some off-the-beaten- path adventures. Wander the famous Hobbiton film set, experience traditional Māori culture, soak in thermal hot springs, explore underground caves, sail into the sunset, discover fascinating Wellington and so much more!

Itinerary

Kia ora! Landing in Auckland, we’ll meet you at our centrally located hostel to settle in. Tonight you’ll meet up with the rest of your travel crew and get excited for all the adventures yet to come travelling New Zealand!

First up today we're stopping at Waitomo, home of the world-famous glowworm caves. We'll jump on a boat to explore this labyrinth of underground rivers and watch the wormies do their thing.

This afternoon we tick off another highlight as we head to Hobbiton to wander the real-life lush pastures of the Shire as featured in The Lord Of The Rings and The Hobbit trilogies. After exploring the set and learning all about movie magic we'll enjoy a drink at the Green Dragon Inn before departing for Rotorua.

Waking up to the whiff of sulphur, today you'll definitely know you're in Rotorua! Visit the naturally heated waters of Kerosene Creek as well one of New Zealand's most magnificent geothermal wonderlands – Wai o Tapu, featuring dramatic geysers & bubbling mud.

This morning you'll have some free time to try some zorbing or the skyline luge.

In the evening we'll go to the Mitai Māori village for an introduction to Māori culture. It doesn't get more authentic than this!

Have your cameras ready as we travel to Taupo, a lakefront town in the heart of the North Island.

This evening we'll treat you to something special - a sunset sailing trip across the lake. Swoon over spectacular, no-filter-needed scenery. NZ, you've stolen our hearts.

This morning we're off on a scenic walk to check out Huka Falls, a goose-bump inducing torrent of crystal water thundering down the Waikato River that you will hear before you see. After witnessing the raw power of Mother Nature, you'll then have some free time when you can do a skydive or the world's highest bungee jump!

Today we'll head to New Zealand's capital city, Wellington! Dive into the city's energy by exploring its charming cafes, indulging in delicious bites at top-notch restaurants or kicking back and soaking up the laid-back vibes of the evening.

Get ready to explore the best of Wellington with a city orientation tour! Hop aboard the iconic cable cars for stunning views, then dive into the rich history and vibrant culture at Te Papa Tongarewa Museum—ranked among the world's best museums.

Your unforgettable Northern Kiwi Adventure comes to an end today, but this is just the beginning of your time in New Zealand! You’re now fully prepped and ready for the next leg of your journey alongside the new friends you’ve made, and we’ll be there for support every step of the way.

I have just completed the 9 day New Zealand North Island tour and I was gutted at the end that I hadn't booked on to the 18 day one, as the whole trip was just amazing. I met some incredible people and did things I've never done before such as cold water swimming in Lake Taupo and white water rafting. I got to visit Hobbiton, which was a dream come ...read more true. Jay our guide was the best and the trip ran smoothly. The week is packed with activities but also enough down time to do your own thing. I will definitely be booking on to another tour next year! If you're unsure about booking, do it, you won't regret it! 10/10
